This sponsorship covers the costs of engaging a name artist at a future Friends of the Wanamaker Organ concert and thereby help get our music program in Greek Hall off the ground.

The Friends Wurlitzer has been dubbed the "Smithsonian" Wurlitzer because it was originally chosen by the Smithsonian Institution for its lack of alteration and superb state of preservation. It was originally located in the Fox (now Rio) Theatre in Appleton, Wisc., and at one time graced the home of Lowell Ayars, known affectionately as the "Singing Organist."
